The RAF's Air Cadets is one of the country's premier youth organizations and the world's largest youth air training organization, supported by thousands of dedicated volunteer staff.
The Air Cadets Organization (ACO) is a national volunteer youth organization within the Training Group that is part public funded and part self-funded. The organization comprises the Air Training Corps (ATC), sponsored by the Royal Air Force, and the Royal Air Force Sections of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF). From units spread throughout the country the organization draws its male and female cadet membership from all social and ethnic backgrounds.
The mission of the ACO is to be a modern, dynamic, sustainable air-minded youth organization of choice that offers fun and challenging opportunities.
The ATC was formed in 1941 by Royal Warrant and last amended in Feb 1990; the Air Commodore-in-Chief is HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. The CCF was formed in 1948, its aims are similar to those of the ATC, but units are largely integrated into private schools, with 20% from the state sector. The Corps' aims to:
• promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the RAF.
• provide training that will be useful in the Services and civilian life.
• foster the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship.
